Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend on the variety of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the house. In newer houses with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
